The Internship (2013)

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Boy did I just just watch a very disappointing comedy: The Internship. It had a few laughs, but was mostly boring and had nothing to do with internships. The characters were trying to get a job as interns and finally succeeded at the end of the movie. I usually don't give spoilers, but I was hoping the story dealt with how you intern Google rather than wanting to intern at Google.

In this sad excuse for a movie Wilson and Vaughn are two unemployed salesmen who manage to get an internship at Google. The comedic element should be that two 40 something who know nothing about technology can compete with kids born with a smartphone in their hands, thanks to their life experience .Unfortunately, the paper thin plot is further watered down by the endless speeches (mostly monologues) delivered by Wilson and Vaughn. They talk so much, half way through the movie I just wanted them to shut up and give some space to the other characters - as stereotyped as they are.Vaughn wrote the script and as it often happens in these cases, he decided to give himself and Wilson lots of long, boring, pseudo-deep speeches. I never notice how annoying an actor he can be when given so much space. Unrestrainable talkative, arrogant and loud.A chemistry-free love story is added to the plot, with some cringe-inducing scenes such as the Rose Byrne character asking Wilson during their first date to behave obnoxiously and he obliging.The movie does not work even as a two-hour long ad for Google. In fact, it seems to last way longer. I could not believe how long it dragged on. Luckily I watched it on TV and I let it play until the end, only because somebody mentioned that the end credits are the best part of the movie - considering how bad is the movie, it is still not much...

This is a really fun movie. This is actually one of the best of 2013 in my opinion. I love the music in this movie etc. I really recommend people to watch it cause it's really worth the time. If you have free time on your mind, watch this movie. I remember when I saw the commercial for this, I wanted to see it so bad. This movie is really a 10 out of 10. I also love all the cast members and how they act. This is kind of my review of internship. And also if you liked this movie you should really check out their other movies, they are also really good and very fun. Well this is all for me right now have a good day. By the way, if you're sad this movie really gets you in a good mood.

It was a Wednesday when I saw The Internship. No wait! I think it was a Thursday. I remember it was close to the end of the week. For movies on either end of the scale – really good or really bad – my memory is always crystal clear about the time and the place. The Internship ebbs so firmly in the middle that I felt nothing. I strain now to remember anything about it. The only thing that I am sure about is that for one hundred and fifty nine minutes, I sat in front of this movie staring into its colorful maw with a feeling that could only be described as baleful indifference.The Internship had no effect on me. None. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Zero. Bupkis. It's a comedy. There are people on the screen. They say things in a humorous way in the midst of a humorous situation. It has the pieces that resemble a comedy and yet I could not care less about anything happening on the screen. Not that I carried a cup of apathy into the screening with me, heaven's no. It's just that I was ready to be entertained and the movie was giving me nothing. It's not the worst comedy I've ever seen. There were moments when I kind of smiled and I admit that some scenes contained a measure of comic energy.The movie stars Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson who have been funny together before in movies like Wedding Crashers and Starsky and Hutch. They have a nice rapport with each other and a natural ease on the screen. They bring some of that to The Internship. Vaughn and Wilson play Billy and Nick respectively, two old friends who have made a living selling designer watches for 20 years. Then one day, their boss tells them that they're out of a job because people don't buy watches anymore – they get everything they need by looking at their cell phones. Out of work, they become desperate to get back in the job pool. Nick goes to work in a mattress store and Billy gets the idea to join the internship program at Google despite the fact that they know virtually nothing about computers. He encourages his buddy to quit the mattress store and go with him.At Google, they meet the stuffy, hate-spewing leader of the program who reminds the new recruits – who are called Noogles and forced to wear propeller beanies – that they are all destined to fail. Billy and Nick see through his B.S. and set out to turn the Google think tank into a fully functioning frat house.That's it. That's the movie. The rest is a series of gags and set pieces in which Billy and Nick upset the establishment, have parties, take the other interns to a strip club, and get under the skin of the project leader who, naturally, wants to sabotage their chances.Again, I watched all of this with bored indifference. None of it stuck. I strain now to remember anything about it. If you see it today, you'll be bored too. Tomorrow you won't remember the title. Two days from now you won't remember the plot. A year from now you won't remember having seen it at all. I'm bored just writing about it.
